Reminder that Jim Jones, quasi-Christian cult guy who led nearly a thousand people to kill themselves, had a better understanding of Christianity than Joel Osteen.

The love of money is the root of all evil. Your Bible tells you that. The love of money is capitalism. To want to possess things, to want to have more than someone else, that is the antichrist system, that is the worst lie that’s ever been put on humankind. . . .

That’s what causes violence. That’s why youngsters are robbing people on the streets, because everyone thinks of themselves as alone against the world. Everyone thinks, I’ve got to make my own. No one teaches that we help or bear one another’s burdens, so every child feels like he’s got to steal his way through. So everybody’s turned against each other. That’s why black are against black, because we’re taught to be against each other. The rich wants us to fight among themselves, so the rich can stand off and laugh, and drain us dry, and use us to be their work slaves.
